Lockouts and rekeys are flat per lock, new hardware is priced at cost plus a markup, and car keys and transponder programming are priced by make and model. After hours work is usually a higher call fee, not a higher hourly rate, and the customer should hear it before you drive. Because customers often feel rushed at the door, the invoice does the explaining afterwards. Clear lines for the call fee, the work and each part show that the price was fair, and they protect you from a dispute filed with a card company. Payment by card or [Apple Pay](https://jiffy-invoice.com/features/online-payments) on the spot is the norm for emergency calls. ## Tips to get paid faster 1. State the call fee and the price of the job on the phone before you leave. The invoice then matches what the customer expected. 2. Always note that you verified ID or proof of residence. It protects you and shows professionalism. 3. Put each rekeyed lock on a count line, not one lump sum. It is clearer and easy to adjust if a lock turns out to be worn. 4. Write the hardware grade and brand for new locks. It supports the warranty and helps with insurance claims after a break in. 5. Collect payment at the door, then email the invoice as a receipt. ## Common invoice mistakes - Leaving out the after hours fee, then explaining it when the customer is already upset - One "labor and parts" line that hides the call fee - Not recording the verification step on lockouts ## Questions ### How do locksmiths usually charge?
